According to the BBC, the company is “set to collapse within hours” following the rough financial period.

The potential collapse could be in part due to a low number of bookings that have been caused by coronavirus.

The spread of the virus has resulted in many airlines having to cancel or adjust their flights.

Both British Airways and RyanAir announced they would have a reduced number of flights setting off this month.

A Flybe spokesperson said: “Flybe can confirm that, following a miscommunication regarding re-fuelling this evening, two flights were delayed and that due to the crew now being out of hours, have been cancelled.

“Normal operations have now resumed.

“We sincerely apologise to those passengers inconvenienced by the disruption to their travel plans.”
